Quick Show of Hands: Is "Visit" the "worst" film in the archives? |
Does anything else even come CLOSE to the level of pure Bulldada camp as this film? Out of what I've seen in the archives, this is just about the cheapest, cruddiest, funniest movie... well, not only in the archives, but EVER.
Does anyone else have any nominees for anything more majestic?

Yes! It's the worst! |
Which of course makes it the BEST.

Re: Quick Show of Hands: Is 'Visit' the 'worst' film in the archives? |
I'll bet this was a cheap TV production made to fill up the time between toy ads directed at baby boomers and their parent's wallets. The idea that Santa sits around in a suburban ranch style house's living room while merrily ordering boys in tights to do his bidding is more than a little disturbing.
I can't help but note that this was made in the same year as (or perhaps a year before?) "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". Are there any other films by Clem Williams Films?

As far as cheaply made, poorly acted and directed, yes, it's the worst. Many of the other films in the archive are just as stupid, but at least they're professionally done.
However, this one loses a point or two for losing it's camp value and becoming just plain boring at the end.

Oh, I don't know -- the line about "...the birth of Jesus Christ, HUNDREDS of years ago..." comes near the end, and winds things up with an anti-climactic bang.

I went to a "naughty" Xmas party this year, so my ears "pricked" up when I heard "Mr. Rogers" say in the film that the girls would enjoy spanking Santa Baby's dolls.
